His Scars || Minsung

t w e n t y t h r e e .

When Jisung and Felix arrived at school, Jeongin and Seungmin walked up to them as usual but something didn't seem right.

"Are you not hanging out with Hwajoon today?" Felix asked Seungmin.

Seungmin groaned at the mention of the new kid's name. "I wish I wasn't but I am. He's just not here yet."

"Come on, he can't be that bad." Jisung rolled his eyes at his friend's dramaticness.

Seungmin gave Jisung a dead look, "Trust me. It's bad." Jisung scoffed.

Suddenly a random arm slung around Jisung's shoulder causing the poor boy to jump in fear. Who's hand is this? He quickly looked at the owner of the arm and his eyes softened.

"Minho?" He said in surprise. What is he doing here?

Changbin popped up beside Felix while Hyunjin appeared beside Seungmin, scaring the shit out of the two boys. Shortly after, Chan, Woojin, and Yedam popped up in the circle too. Yedam stood next to Jeongin and gave him a smile, making the boy melt.

Minho looked down and smiled at Jisung. "Hey Babe."

"I thought you weren't gonna be here until lunch?" Jisung looked beyond confused.

The gang member shook his head, "Not today. We aren't doing anything so I decided to come to school on time and hang with you."

Jisung laughed, "Minho coming to school on time? That's the first." Minho playfully rolled his eyes.

Felix slapped Changbin's chest making the latter look at the taller with confused eyes. "Ow, why'd you hit me?" The gang member asked.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming early today?"

"I didn't find out until this morning." Changbin threw his hands up in surrender. "Also thought I would surprise you." He said making Felix smile.

"Kim Seungmin!" Someone yelled out out of nowhere.

Seungmin could recognize that voice from anywhere. He internally groaned and wanted to hide and pretend that he wasn't at school so he wouldn't hang out with the guy for any longer. The group turned their heads towards the owner of the voice and their eyes landed on Hwajoon.

"Welp that's my cue to leave. Bye guys." Seungmin said before he broke off from the little circle and walked with Hwajoon to his locker.

Hyunjin's face dropped for a split second but he quickly recovered. Anyone would've missed it but Minho saw it drop. He internally scoffed at how ridiculous his friend was being. Minho looked around to see if anyone saw it and he met eyes with Chan. The leader just lazily rolled his eyes at the audacity of Hyunjin.

The night before, Chan asked Hyunjin if he liked Seungmin and still he denied it. Insisting that he didn't like Seungmin, but he wasn't fooling anyone, they all saw his face earlier during lunch when Seungmin wasn't there. They all know he was lying to himself and the gang. It was just a matter of time before he would stop denying the truth and admit it to himself.

Hyunjin didn't pay attention in any of the subjects in class, he couldn't because his mind was too busy. Busy thinking about someone else, about the person who sat beside him.

'Is he ignoring me? He hasn't talked to me since Monday. Ever since that Hwajoon dude came in, Seungmin's been ditching his own friends just to hang out with the new kid. What's so special about Hwajoon anyways? Why aren't Felix or Jisung or Jeongin fazed about it?' Hyunjin couldn't help but think. He quickly shook his head. 'Why do I even care? It's not like I like him or anything... Right? Then why do I get jealous when Seungmin's hanging out with that bastard? Is the gang right? Do I like Seungmin? Nah that can't be it...'
